CONDITION
This bulletin is regarding best practices when handling navigation systems that use Hard Disc Drive or
Micro SD Card memory.
1. First type is generation 6 or 7 which utilizes HDD (Hard Disc Drive). Pioneer models that begin
with NXH, have Map Data, Operating System and other Information in the Hard Disc Drive.
With this system if a radio is being sent back for an exchange. The original Hard Disc Drive
needs to be removed and installed into the newly serviced radio.
The HDD is inside this cover.
The HDD needs to be removed when

2. The Second type is Generation 8 Navigation system which utilizes the Micro SD Card. Pioneer
models that begin with NXF, have map data in the Micro SD card. This is a customer
accessible Micro SD card which can be found behind the front flip cover. The original Micro SD
card should be removed and installed into the newly serviced radio.
The SD card is behind this flip cover.
The Micro SD needs to be removed
when returning the Main Unit to
Pioneer.
RECOMMENDATIONS
There is another Micro SD card (Operating System) inside the Navigation Module. (Similar location to
the Hard Disc Drive in the Generation 7 system). This micro SD Card Should Not be removed for any
reason. Micro SD cards located in this internal slot need to be returned with the original radio.
